- 4Hacker News·8/10/2026product_launchVoice-Driven Murder Mystery Built with GPT-Realtime
A Hacker News user showcased a voice-driven murder mystery game where players interrogate AI suspects using speech-to-speech conversation. The project uses OpenAI's gpt-realtime-2.1 over WebRTC, with accusation tracking and a separate gpt-5-mini judge to verify whether players actually presented required evidence.
